About Max: Max Krause was sitting in his living room watching Marshall Brodein as "Wizzo" on the Bozo show perform his latest feats of legerdemain and was completely and instantly forever hooked. Right then and there at the very impressionable age of 10, Max made his decision to make magic a full time vocation and 35 years later, with countless shows under his belt, Max continues to practice the art he loves so much. He says “practice” because you never stop learning. He is forever a student and a teacher with over three dozen releases for the magic/mentalism community to his credit. He loves all aspects of the art from intimate sleight of hand, mentalism, illusion, and everything in between. He currently has a brick and mortar magic shop and theatre and can be found performing there when not on tour doing outside shows and lectures. His very simple yet extremely complicated philosophy is "Always be thinking" because he knows there is no such thing as "too perfect." Every piece of magic is always a work in progress. To that end, Max will always endeavor to better the art he loves so much.

What others are saying…“Max's thinking outside the proverbial box is refreshing and innovative. He understands the importance of simplicity and hiding the simplicity of the method within the routine, it is this thinking that allows Max to fool you. You will use his creations.”-Banachek

-“Max is a strong performer and a very creative young man. We collaborated on his take of my effect, Serial Killer. In fact, his take left my effect in the dust. Every time Max comes up with something new and original, he blows my mind. His Dream Box is just that, an ingenious, devilishly clever device for mentalists and magicians who want to look like mentalists. If he happens to land near your backyard, whatever you do, don't miss him. Max Krause will make your head spin with his magical creations." -Larry Becker

“His devious mind continues to come up with methods that leave spectators with their jaws gaping. Part of me wishes he would keep some of these ideas in the shadows. They are too good to be brought out into the full light for all to see.”-Doc Eason

“When I first experienced Max's A Poker Story, I knew I'd met a creative genius. Max's entire philosophy is to take not only classic ideas and enhance them, but to also invent some of the most innovative and practical effects I have come across. Max’s lecture will really get you thinking in a whole new direction.”- Eric Jones

“His creativity is a breath of fresh air that stands out in this world of magical redundancy. I'm currently using two of his wonderful ideas in my own programs. That is the highest endorsement I can give! I suggest you spend an evening attending Max's new lecture. You will be fooled and just might end up looking at your own magic through a wider lens!”-Jon Stetson
